Chapter 7

Crowfeather's POV

Tonight was the gathering and I was one of the warriors to go. I was looking forward to seeing Leafpool if she was there also my friends from the journey. Onestar lead the patrol of cats to the island and I was right behind him. I climbed the tree and jumped to the ground.

I looked around for Leafpool to see if she was here or not. I didn't see her but I spotted Squirrelflight heading my way. I sat down and wanted for her to speak.

She flicked her tail, "Come on let's go behind that bush." She whispered. Bewildered, I followed her behind the bush.

"What? Is something wrong with Leafpool?" I murmured anxiously. She looked angry for a moment.

"Leafpool had her kits last night. She told me to tell you to meet her at the border. How could you break the warrior code, Crowfeather?"

I flicked my ears angrily, "I love Leafpool. I can't believe that I do after Feathertail's death but Leafpool walks in my dreams. I'll be with Feathertail again in StarClan."

Squirrelflight retorted annoyed, "What's going to happen when Leafpool joins you? Are you going to ignore her or what? What's your plan?"

I lashed my tail in worry and frustration. "I don't know but I'm sure that's a long way away. I love both of them. Feathertail may have been my first love. Leafpool had my kits. Squirrelflight, you know what its like to fall in love with two different cats. How do I choose?"

Squirrelflight looked confused, "How did you know I liked two different toms?"

I slightly smiled, "Brambleclaw told me that you liked Ashfur."

Squirrelflight muttered something I couldn't hear. "Hey, strangers," a voice behind us said.

I turned around and saw Tawnypelt. I dipped my head to her. "Hello, Tawnypelt."

She flicked me on the head with her tail. "You don't have to be so formal and uptight, Crowfeather. I'm your friend not a leader."

"Some leader you'd make." A deeper voice growled jokingly. It was Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt's brother.

"Hey Brambleclaw!" Tawnypelt touched noses with her brother. It was clear that Tawnypelt missed her brother whatever Clan she was in.

The next two cats that padded over were Stormfur and Brook. I touched noses with Stormfur gently. "Hello Stormfur. Hello Brook."

Stormfur returned my greetings. Brook dipped her head to me. I heard a yowl and I turned to see that all the leaders were on the Great Tree. (AN- that's like the Great Rock)

I sat with the others and listened to what the leaders had to say. Blackstar was first.

"ShadowClan is strong as always. We have two new apprentices. Darkpaw and Breezepaw." Everyone cheered for the apprentices. "We also have three new warriors. Shadedleaf, Gorsefang, and Cherryfoot." Again more cheers.

Blackstar stepped back and Leopardstar stepped forward. "RiverClan is well. We have new apprentices and warriors as well. Waterpaw and Grasspaw. Our new warriors are Ripplestream and Sunwhisker." Everyone murmured congratulations to them.

"I'm not done. WindClan has stolen prey from RiverClan!" I stood up on my paws and joined my Clanmates in yelling. Onestar came forward.

"Do you have prove of this, Leopardstar?" Leopardstar turned to my leader. "Yes, one of my warriors saw one of yours cross the border.

Onestar looked around at his warriors. "I will deal with this later, Leopardstar. If you're right I apologize but if it isn't true then I'll talk to you later." Leopardstar dipped her head and stepped back.

Onestar didn't have much to say. Soon it was Firestar's turn.

"We also have new apprentices, Flamepaw, Blazepaw, and Swiftpaw. We have our deputy back. I looked around until I saw a gray tom that looked like Stormfur stand up.

Everyone was happy that Graystripe had returned. Even Blackstar dipped his head to the ThunderClan deputy. I looked at Brambleclaw to see his reaction. He was on his feet cheering as well. Brambleclaw was deputy before Graystripe had come back. I was surprised that Brambleclaw was so calm about it.

"This gathering is over." Firestar announced.

I walked over to Onestar. "I'm going to hunt for awhile, I'll be back at camp later." Onestar nodded and led the rest of my Clan home.
